Location, Sessions & Fees

Sessions

I offer confidential, short or open-ended therapeutic counselling in a transparent, authentic, deeply non-judgemental, and empathically rich environment, in which you can freely talk about whatever worries or difficulties you are struggling with. Usually you will commit to one session a week at the same time of day.

Each session runs for 60 minutes.

Assessment/Introduction

Before committing to regular counselling sessions, I will arrange an introductory/assessment meeting with you. This initial session will usually take an hour and will
serve to provide you with an opportunity to experience whether the
person-centred counselling I offer is what you would like to commit
yourself to, to ask questions and talk about your expectations and
possible outcomes of counselling. During the introductory/assessment
session I will also explain to you the limits of confidentiality and
other contractual matters.

If, after the introductory/assessment session, you decide to go ahead with counselling, I will provide you with a Therapeutic Counselling Contract which will need to be signed by both of us. The contract will assist us both in defining our separate roles and commitments. It will also serve as a declaration and assurance of my integrity as well as my responsibility to you as your counsellor.

Assessment/introduction meeting lasts 60-90 minutes and the fee is £70.

Fees

£70 for a 60-minute individual session. Extended sessions can be arranged on a case by case basis. Telephone and Skype sessions are also available.

If you are on limited income I am open to discuss fee reduction.

Cancellation Policy

A minimum of 48-hour notice is required when making a cancellation. If less than a 48-hour notice is given by you, the full fee will be payable at the next session. In the event of me not being able to provide you with a session through illness and/or an emergency, I will give you as much notice as possible and offer you an alternative date.
